Century‐long variations of growing‐season compound dry–hot extremes and their links with large‐scale climate patterns in China
Abstract In the context of global warming, the increasing frequency of compound dry–hot extremes pose varying degrees of threats to the natural environment and human society. However, due to the lack of long‐term and high‐accuracy meteorological observations, the characteristics and drivers of compo...
